Definitions
- This invention relates to methods for the purification of tellurium and selenium alkyls, particularly the dialkyls of these metals.
- Tellurium and selenium alkyls are important compounds used in the semiconductor industry, for example in the preparation of Cadmium Mercury Telluride (CMT) used in opto-electronic applications.
- CMT Cadmium Mercury Telluride
- the alkyls are decomposed, usually thermally to form the element, which may be itself deposited on a substrate, or combined with other elements in compounds. It is a very important requirement of such alkyls that they be extremely pure, as the presence of even minute quantities of impurities, eg at a ppm level can have a detrimental effect on the properties of the semiconductor.
- the present invention seeks to overcome the problems of prior art methods of purification of tellurium and selenium alkyls by novel routes using adducts, some of which are themselves novel.
- a method of purification of a tellurium or selenium alkyl characterised by forming an adduct of the alkyl with at least one compound of a Group 11 or 12 metal (Cu, Ag, Au, Zn, Cd, Hg) and thermally dissociating the said adduct to yield the alkyl.
- the at least one compound of a group 11 or 12 metal is an inorganic compound.
- the method is suitable for the purification of all tellurium and selenium alkyls, but is particularly suitable for the metal dialkyls.
- the alkyl group may be straight or branched chain, and is preferably a lower alkyl eg containing up to 4 carbon atoms. These lower alkyls are most useful for semiconductor production.
- Preferred Group 11 or 12 metals are cadmium, mercury and copper.
- the compound is preferably a halide or nitrate, most preferably halides, these being bromides, chlorides and iodides.
- the most preferred c ⁇ mpounts are therefore: Cul, CdI 2 , CdBr 2 , HgCl 2 , Cu 2 I 2 , Hgl 2 .
- the method is carried out in the following way:
- a solution of the alkyl in a suitable solvent is prepared, ani this is added to a solution of the metal compound in a suitable solvent, preferably an organic solvent.
- a suitable solvent preferably an organic solvent.
- Preferred solvents in both cases are polar aliphatic orpanic solvents containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 5. It is desirable to use a solvent for the alkyl that is also capable of dissolving the metal compound.
- Suitable sovents for the alkyl include ethers, such as THF but especially diethyl ether; alcohols, especially ethanol: and nitriles especially acetonitrile These solvents are also suitable for the metal compound.
- the alkyl is dissolve! in an ether an! is added at an appropriate rate to a solution of the metal compound in an alcohol.
- the ammount of alkyl and metal compound used are in approximately stoichioimetric ratios.
- the adduct is thermally dissociated in vacuo to yield the pure alkyl which may be collected in a cooled receiver.
- Suitable dissociation temperatures will depend upon the adduct and are easily determined experimentally. Generally temperatures in the range 80° - 150°C are suitable.
- the preparation and subsequent manipulation of the adduct is performed under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen.
- Alkyls purified by the process of the invention are in many instances in a state of purity suitable for their use directly in the preparation of semiconductors, for example the epitaxial deposit of CMT.
- Table 1 lists various adducts which were prepared using the method of the two preparative examples and some of their characteristics.
- Table 2 lists the microanalytical data for the various adducts.
- a solution of diethyltellurium (4.78g 0.025 g mol) was added . dropwise to a red solution of mercury (II) iodide (6.16g, 0.013 g mol) in ethanol ( 250 cm 3 ) to obtain a pale yellow crystalline product.
- the product was isolated from the reaction mixture by filtration under a nitrogen atmosphere and by successive washings with petroleum ether pre-cooled to 4°C. The crystals were pumped to remove any volatile impurities for 1 hour at room temperature.
- a solution of diethyltellurium (5.71g, 0.0307 g mol) was added dropwise to a solution of mercury (II) Chloride (7.39g, 0.0272 gmol) in diethyl ether (250 cm 3 ) to obtain a pale yellow crystalline product.
- the product was isolated from the reaction mixture by filtration under a nitrogen atmosphere and by siccessive washings with petroleum ether precooled to 4°C. The crystals were pumped to remove any votalite impurities for 1 hour at room temperature.
- the pure adduct (2.5 g) was heated to ca.125°C Pure di-isopropylt ⁇ llurium distilled and was collected in vacuo in a cold trap maintained at -196oC. Yield was 1.oo g. 65.56 % based on the weight of the adduct
